# stopStepCountingUpdates()

Stops the delivery of step-counting updates to your app.

```
func stopStepCountingUpdates()
```

## Discussion

Call this method to stop the delivery of updates that you started by calling the [`startStepCountingUpdates(to:updateOn:withHandler:)`](/documentation/CoreMotion/CMStepCounter/startStepCountingUpdates(to:updateOn:withHandler:)) method. This method does not stop queries started using the [`queryStepCountStarting(from:to:to:withHandler:)`](/documentation/CoreMotion/CMStepCounter/queryStepCountStarting(from:to:to:withHandler:)) method.
